The Greek etymology of the word\nChaos means a fracture or a gap. In mathematics, Chaos Theory studies the\nbehavior of systems that are very sensitive to initial conditions, a phenomenon\ngenerally illustrated by \u201cthe butterfly effect\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This term was used Edward Lorenz,\nAmerican mathematician and meteorologist to describe the theoretical basis of\nweather and climate predictability, which is based on this idea that small\ncauses may have large effects in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the photographer assisted to a recent destruction of\ncolonial villa in Saigon which has survived for one hundred year of turmoil, this\nseries \u201cBalance of Chaos\u201d is his reaction and his\nquestioning face to these ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He uses the concept of a \u201chidden image\u201d, an image that cannot be\nseen for some reasons, showing the gaps of our knowledge. All pictures were\ntaken with some elements that were literally in a precarious balance. A single\nbreath could make the set-up to be all upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the diptych \u201cHidding holy\nicon\/ Sacred wind and light<\/em>\u201d, the frame is lying face down because\nof divine forces that may have shaken the walls to make it fall. It is inspired\nby the Iconoclastic Controversy, a dispute over the representation of God\n(icons) in the Byzantine Empire in the 8th and 9th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The diptych \u201cOpium\nof the people\/ Knowledge\u201d<\/em> is about Opium trade and wars in China and Indochina\nwhich had finally led to upheavals from a feudal society to a Marxist political\nsystem. The background of books suggest that Culture may give rise to the revolutions\nand at the same time powerless to control its violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because we are also under influence of our own judgement and\npsychology, between \u201cPassions and Sorrow\u201d<\/em>.\nOur actions are at the end driven by irrational forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beside rational structures which seem steady, effective randomness in some classical systems, such as the\nweather, seems a key feature of nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless Chaos has still predictable laws to be revealed. Paradoxically to be aware of them will\nprevent Chaos to happen in the best cases, at least to maintain it balanced for\nour own sake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Greek etymology of the word This term was used Edward Lorenz, Because the photographer assisted to a recent destruction of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3612,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,50],"tags":[64,90,101],"class_list":["post-3616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gallery","category-art-concept","tag-politics","tag-society","tag-psychical","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inlen.photo\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
